“Augusta is a thriving marketplace and we saw a great opportunity to expand and serve this market,” said Scott Britt, director of IT for Classic Collision. “We use many tools to determine where to put our next locations. What we determined, among other things, was a growing population in the Augusta area, plus the U.S. Army is building a new Cyber Command that will bring thousands of jobs to the area. This confirmed that Augusta was a market we wanted to be in. We also plan to add another Augusta location by next Spring as well.”

The new Augusta location will employ 25-30 people, and Sugar Hill will employ 10. Classic Collision utilizes many different resources for identifying job candidates and is in the process of researching and building an apprenticeship system in-house. Classic’s intent is to connect with the local Department of Labor’s Career One-Stop Centers and also work with Veteran’s representatives to find and hire the best possible candidates.
